"Ribbons"

[chazz]

I've been reading that Carina's been playing "Ribbons" at the recent UK gigs and, as I understand it, she hasn't played that song in quite a while.

Back in September, when Carina gave the personal performance for my friend and me, the second song I requested was "Ribbons". When I requested it, she replied, "ooh, it's been forever since I played that. I hope I can remember it". In fact, she did a brief practice of a couple chord progressions and did almost forget one part but pulled through it gracefully. You'd only have noticed it if you were familiar with the song.

I wonder if, or should I say I would like to think, my request prompted her to include it in her set again. It's one of my favorites.

nice story my friend!

as far as im aware she only played it in Wolverhampton purely because she didnt know what to play, and a female member of the audience called out for it!

amazing you got a personal performance though!

The last record i have of Ribbons being played live before the two recent events mentioned was on 20 April 2002 at Bolzano in Italy!!!

It was almost as rare as Message To Apollo and On Leaving

Time they were requested at other gigs (and someone records the gig)

She does seem a bit reticent to play some songs off First Blood Mystery. She was taking requests at Sheffield, but declined to sing On Leaving.

Ive tried and tried to get her to do On Leaving.

I don't think its gonna happen
